Terminator: Salvation

Mike and I saw Terminator Salvation tonight. My thoughts:


I thought it was great. Really. It was the first time they've gone into the future, and I thought they did a good job.

HOWEVER.... (SERIOUS SPOILERS AHEAD!! DON'T LOOK IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW THE ENDING)

WHY THE FUCK DID THEY LET THE ONE GUY WHO HAS A GOOD SHOT AT HELPING THEM BEAT SKYNET GIVE UP HIS HEART!?!?!? WTF WERE THEY THINKING WHEN THEY WROTE THE ENDING?!?!?!

Honestly, I'm completely alright with letting everything else go. The nuclear blast that should have disintegrated them all? whatever. The heart transplant surgery in the middle of the desert? whatever. The hundred other completely cheesy and implausible and obvious things that happened? Whatever. But that ending really pissed me off. Imagine how much better the next movie would be with Marcus and John running the show together. But nooooo. They had to make a martyr out of him. Lame.
